I can verify this guys credibility. Went to a Rocket League tournament hosted by these guys, we never had a power issue, space issue, or network issue (despite a massive amount of people showing up). And they created a fun and welcoming environment especially for people (like myself) who had never been to a large lan event. Great video dudes!
I'd love to learn about hosting a larger LAN event, How do sponsors play into this? And when it comes to hosting at a big venue such as a small ballroom in a hotel, how are we supposed to get an adequate internet connection to that location?
There is a cyberpunk event I do in the middle of the desert that has two separate arcades. I want to add a third arcade to that evet; a lan party. Do you ever need to use external power supplies?
Have you ever had issues with humidity/temperature from leaving equipment in the garage during the day? Or do you remove everything from the garage when the party is over? Thanks for the advice in the video.
LAN stands for Local Area Network, meaning you are connecting directly with the computers in the room, you are not running through dial-up, computers have had ethernet ports on them for years and years you connect with that.
Do you just get a big switch and connect everyone there? Or do you have a core switch with table switches. If so, how do you program all the switches to be on the same LAN
Switches just give your main router more ports, so no setup necessary. So you just put a switch on each table, and run them directly into your main router and you're done.
SanDiegoLAN Does this need to be managed of unmanaged? Cause I have bought two managed 48 port switches last week and one 24 port unmanaged (all gigabit)
So you can do either method. Having a core switch link to several other switches to expand your lan. In these cases with less than 50 people, I wouldn't worry about the type of switch or even using a routed network. You can use a managed switch in an unmanaged way, you basically tag all ports to vlan 1 so they are all linked together - viola, a simple switch. Usually managed switches will be able to give you more throughput than an unmanaged one, but like I said above, if its like less than 50 people, it is not going to make a difference. Actually, if you're pushing less than 800Mbps total, it's not going to make a difference. I've personally run a 200 man lan using a full managed and routed network because we had to manage the bandwidth carefully (we had to run on a 3x 4g sticks, arg, the struggle - fibre wasn't available then and the games we wanted to offer needed internet.) That is where your router would come in, you could block or limit all traffic except for game traffic - ie QOS
If everyone owns a license for a game, but one person has it installed, they can share the game files with others to prevent everyone having to download the game individually.
@@z-corp8864 On this topic. A switch merely gives you more ports to work with. Your router handles the major network control. So if you have a 4 port router and you have 8 people, you'd need a switch to expand your network. Notes though, do not get a hub, a hub will cause more issues than it's worth. A switch also gives you the ability to move ports to other locations, eg if you have a router in the back of your house, you can run a single network cable to a switch that is in the location where you will be sitting.
Of course you need a router, also make sure to get a better one because $10 TP-Link ones are slowing down when too many pc's are connected because their processor is too slow, they can't handle much packets per second.

this was a great video
i'll stick to my friend and i in my room for now
Thank you

Nope! They stay in there year round.
Thanks for the reply!
I just had a lan party but online ( me and a couple of friends ), we started playing apex legends at 8:30 p.m. and we finished at 6:00 a.m.
That would be a WAN Party.
I am curious how Lan parties were made back in the day, when all we had was dial-up. How were players able to connect to each other then.
LAN stands for Local Area Network, meaning you are connecting directly with the computers in the room, you are not running through dial-up, computers have had ethernet ports on them for years and years you connect with that.
@@cheezeyman9706 not every PC had ethernet ports i emphasis on BACK IN THE DAY WHEN WE HAD DIAL-UP!!!
@@AYCHMENG you would use coax cables

I would imagine managed is better, but try both and see which ones work best.

how does the game sharing work? As I thought that u could share but steam would not allow multiple people to play the same copy at once.

2:03 breh
1:01 thank god i am european where you have 16a/230 or if you are crafty 3x 32a/230
can a normal router support like 4 gaming pc's?
Guess it depends if the router has 4 ports or more.
That is where the switch would come in :)
It very much depends on the amount of people wanting to join in.
do we need router or just the switcher ?
You need a router to supply IP addresses, a switch merely increases the number of wired ports you can use.
ok thanks

fucking newb. Got a 15kw stealth generator running at all times on my lan party's no power problems there
This made me drier than the brush in California
